Are we surprised? A lot of "prosecutorial descretion" was used as a BS excuse by tons of DAs across the country during 2020 to not bother charging or pursuing charges against right wing counter protestors who attacked BLM marches. See: Larry Arnold Davis, aka The St. Petersburg Gunman in Florida

I'm not surprised, but this is bad politics on Gascon's part. Gascon was elected only with the help of a left-wing coalition, he remains extremely unpopular with the right and center-right, who have already tried to recall him. He's spitting in the face of his only supporters.
